I saw you people praying for sick people on Facebook, please help me. I have brain cancer and I don't want to die, I have children and parents to take care of.
Pray for me and share this post in many groups. If you do cancer, it won't be your part in life. I don't like this page, please.

Below is the very tragic picture of a young man, apparently after an operation on his head:

of that

But this is so-called clickbait - the image was stolen and re-uploaded with a different context.

Who is this and where does the picture come from?

The young man in the picture is not a “Larry”, but a young man named Devon who, after surviving treatment for testicular cancer, unfortunately also developed a brain tumor that had to be treated.

His stepmother accompanied his journey with the camera and blogged about it. She wanted to honor his strong will and the courage with which he fought his illness.

Therefore, these pictures are used illegally by Relationship Trip and are also old because the pictures are from November 2013 according to his stepmother's description.

So why this theft of the images and a new story with a different name?

The topic is clickbaiting or, in German, click bait. This is a scam where you want to get likes and clicks quickly with a sensational story...

This is nothing new and actually nothing objectionable if you want to use a heading to present a topic in such a way that the interested reader will actually read it.

Every newspaper headline works like this.

What's different here?

The aim here is probably to generate as many clicks and likes as possible for a page in order to make this page more interesting for advertisers who buy the page along with the fans.

This happened in a particularly perfidious form after the murder of little Jaden: Jaden from Herne.

Here, a supposed memorial page was used for clickbait, fans were generated and the page was then renamed and sold.

In this case too it seems to be this phenomenon or at least it is similar.

If you the entire site and status posts, you'll notice that every single article on this site is clickbait.

You can't find real information and stories!

This picture is also stolen, it shows the South African model Kirchaana !

Here too, it's all about likes and clicks, it's about buying and selling.

This is about making money with lies and fraud and in no way about compassion, love or charity!

So please always check first what you are clicking on and for what purpose, otherwise you will quickly become a clicking animal for dubious site operators who are only interested in money and profit!
